Topic: Data-driven next generation medical research and healthcare system Speaker: Chin Lin, Associate Professor, School of Medicine, National Defense Medical Center Time: 2024/10/01(Tue) 14:10-16:00 Venue: CGU Artificial Intelligence Research Center (Management Building 11F) Join Online: https://gqr.sh/VD5p   About the Speaker: Dr. Lin's primary research focuses on the development of artificial intelligence models and their integration into clinical practice to validate improvements in healthcare quality. Dr. Lin's most renowned work is the AI-enabled ECG interpretation platform, capable of detecting over 50 diseases from a single ECG. This platform has initiated more than 10 clinical trials and has recently demonstrated the benefits of AI-ECG in reducing short-term mortality.   Abstract: Medical research is the foundation of health care systems. In recent decades, researchers have developed a framework that has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of healthcare. With advancements in deep learning, AI is poised to play a crucial role, but this also poses challenges to the traditional medical research paradigm. In response, the National Defense Medical College (NDMC) team is focusing on utilizing AI to re-analyze existing medical data, enabling opportunistic patient screening. This presentation will share the NDMC team’s experience in smart healthcare, highlighting how retrospective studies and clinical trials point to the future of a healthcare system shaped by human-machine collaboration.。   Organizers: College of Intelligent Computing & Artificial Intelligence Research Center   ※ No registration needed.

Topic: Decoding Biological Language  in Membrane Proteins:  Combining Protein Language Model Embeddings with Multi-Window Scanning Deep Learning  for Functional Identification Speaker: Yu-Yen Ou Prof. of Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Yzu University Time: 2024/09/24(Tue) 14:00-16:00 Place: The Management Building, 11F, Chang Gung University, AI Lecture Hall Join Online: https://gqr.sh/awHN   About the Speaker: Yu-Yen Ou earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from National Taiwan University in 2005 and is currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Yuan Ze University. His research interests include machine learning and bioinformatics, particularly focusing on protein sequence function prediction and identification. Since 2016, he has pioneered the integration of deep learning and natural language processing in membrane protein sequence analysis. Professor Ou has received the 21st Outstanding Professor Award from the Far Eastern Y. Z. Hsu Science and Technology Memorial Foundation and several research grants from Taiwan's Ministry of Science and Technology.   Abstract: This presentation will explore the integration of protein language pre-training models with multi-window scanning deep learning techniques to decode and analyze the biological language embedded within membrane protein sequences. We will first utilize protein language models such as ProtTrans or ESM-2 to transform protein sequences into high-dimensional vector embeddings, capturing the intricate biological language within these sequences. Following this, we will employ multi-window convolutional neural networks (MCNN) to extract features across various scales, enabling the identification of membrane protein functions based on these language features. This innovative approach, combining language models with multi-scale analysis, not only enhances our understanding of membrane and transporter proteins but also offers new perspectives and potential applications in the field of bioinformatics.     Organizers: College of Intelligent Computing & Artificial Intelligence Research Center   ※ No registration needed.
